Radio Rounds ™, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit company, is a weekly medical radio talk show created and hosted by medical students. Each week, we interview a physician, patient, or other leader in health care to hear their thoughts on modern medicine. With nearly 100 episodes to date, we tackle medical issues with the depth and attention they deserve. Topics include...

Humanism in Medicine, where we discuss some of the most moving stories that physicians and patients experience, including guests like Patch Adams, authors like Samuel Shem (The House of God), physicians describing their most emotional moments, and powerful interviews with patients, including children battling cancer and facing rehabilitation. Trust us, the reality of medicine is far more dramatic than any episode of Grey's Anatomy!

Global Health, investigating the role of physicians and health workers in countries like Haiti and Guatemala, with interviews from longtime Haitian physicians like Evan Lyon of Partners in Health. Get past the mass-media and hear what it is really like to be a doctor or patient in a region starving for care. Hear about the incredible challenges, and about the even more inspirational successes.

Health Policy, where guests such as Howard Dean and Don Berwick discuss health care reform, patient centered medical homes, evidence-based medicine, and all kinds of new ideas for making health care safer, more accessible and more affordable!

AND MUCH MORE! Check out our website at www.radiorounds.org and drop us a line at radiorounds@gmail.com, we'd love to hear from you!
